Ryde and Dimension AI Sign MOU to Assess Proposed US$278 Million GPUaaS Initiative
Ryde Group and Dimension AI will evaluate a proposed GPU-as-a-Service collaboration, with the indicative value based on Dimension AI's preliminary estimate of the platform's total capital cost.
Ryde Group Ltd (NYSE American:RYDE) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Singapore-based Dimension AI Pte. Ltd. to assess a proposed GPU-as-a-Service collaboration. Dimension AI has given the proposed platform an indicative aggregate value of up to US$278 million, but the figure remains a preliminary estimate of total capital cost and is subject to definitive agreements and other applicable conditions.
#Proposed GPUaaS platform remains under evaluation
The parties intend to examine a platform that could provide GPU-as-a-Service capacity over an initial three-year period. Ryde said that this period is not an agreed commercial term under the MOU.
The US$278 million figure does not represent contracted revenue, guaranteed customer commitments or revenue attributable to Ryde. It is Dimension AI's preliminary estimate of potential aggregate project activity and the total capital cost of the proposed platform.
The commercial structure, financial arrangements, scope, financing and implementation plans have not been finalised. They remain subject to further assessment, discussions, definitive documentation and applicable conditions.
The MOU establishes a framework for the companies to evaluate possible services for enterprise customers and other organisations adopting AI technologies. The assessment is intended to combine Ryde's commercial capabilities and regional relationships with Dimension AI's work in AI factory development, GPU cloud infrastructure and technical operations.
Ryde said the initiative forms part of its Ryde 2.0 strategy, under which it is evaluating technology-related opportunities alongside its existing mobility and quick commerce activities.
Singapore-headquartered Ryde operates a technology platform covering mobility and quick commerce. Its services include carpooling, private hire, taxi and delivery. Ryde is listed on the NYSE American under the ticker RYDE.
Dimension AI is a Singapore-headquartered AI infrastructure company. Its stated activities include developing, owning and operating hyperscale AI factories, as well as providing GPU cloud infrastructure, managed AI operations, infrastructure financing and lifecycle optimisation.

The company identified risks including its ability to change direction, keep pace with new technology and changing market needs, and operate in a competitive environment.
The MOU does not establish a completed commercial arrangement. Further terms apply, including the requirement for definitive agreements and other applicable conditions.
